Some people stop to smell the rose's, not me I stop to do some push ups ;)I've decited to start incorporating my crossfit exercise's into my shorter runs(anything under 20 miles). I picked 5 spots along the trail to do what I did in my crossfit class today. It was fun. Here I am on Mission Peak doing my push ups.A man came over to to me on one of my exercise stops and ask "what are you doing"?. I said "my crossfit work out"! He said why? I asked why do you hike? He said becouse it's good for me. I said that's my answer for what I'm doing trailrunning/crossfit work out. He smiled and said , ok.

Tomorrow I will go to Yosemite for the day to run Half Dome. Should be as beautiful as ever. Yosemite is my heaven. I love it!

I don't know what it is with some people and the comments. Is it an American thing? They can't understand exercise?

When rockclimbing at places that have easy tourist access you inevitably get some similar strange questions like, "If you let go of the rope, wouldn't your friend fall to his death" They ask this in a sort of a condescending way. One time I heard a great climber reply, "Yeah. If you let go of your steering wheel while you are driving on the freeway, wouldn't your car crash?"

When living in Yosemite valley hanging out in El Cap meadow the tourons would ask dumb questions all the time. I'd be watching my X-husband on El Cap. And they say stuff like do they have ropes going all the way up? who puts the ropes up for them? How do you go to the bathroom up there?

I will be in Yosemite tomorrow running Half Dome. I've already got the dumb questions, what if the cables are down you can't go up. People just don't get. it's actually easier to go up with the cables down you just hold on and pull yourself up.Have a great day.Catra

I think maybe some of those "touron" questions are really out of interest and curiosity. i know that as a new ultrarunner and someone who is interested in rock climbing but has almost nil experience these are some of the questions I would ask. dumb? maybe. but earnest? yes.

have fun on your run. haven't been to yosemite in ages. it's beauty is pretty indescribable.
